Finite Element Analysis of Cauchy-Born Approximations to Atomistic Models

This paper is devoted to a new finite element consistency analysis of Cauchy-Born approximations to atomistic models of crystalline materials in two and three space dimensions. Through this approach new "atomistic Cauchy-Born" models are introduced and analyzed. These intermediate models c...
